@farbel.mas.to.ap.brid.gy#ScribesAndMakers Oct 16: Do you feel you do your best work solitary, collaboratively, or near but not with other people?
Other than editing, I have never collaborated, although I would like to try. My books have been written both in solitude and around others in coffee shops and co-working spaces.
@nisaa.sfba.social.ap.brid.gy#ScribesAndMakers <16 Do you feel you do your best creative work completely solitary, working collaboratively with one or more people, or working near but not with other people?
I will say working near but not with other people. I love virtual co-working sessions. I get shit done in them. And […]
@davecb.hachyderm.io.ap.brid.gy#ScribesAndMakers 10/16. Do you feel you do your best creative work completely solitary, working collaboratively with one or more people, or working near but not with other people?
Alas, the third. I 'm struck by thoughts while I should be paying attention to the meeting I'm in. Even in […]
@graceghughes.zirk.us.ap.brid.gy#ScribesAndMakers 16 Do you feel you do your best creative work completely solitary, working collaboratively with one or more people, or working near but not with other people?
I like to work near one or two sounding boards, and I work well with others who also like to work near one or two […]
@nisaa.sfba.social.ap.brid.gy#ScribesAndMakers <15 How confident are you feeling about your work today? I’m feeling excited and maybe a little confident about my new pebble mosaic. My goal was to start by my birthday tomorrow. Last night I went and got a piece of cement board and printed a […]
@nemorosa.mastodon.nu.ap.brid.gy#ScribesAndMakers Oct 15 - How confident are you feeling about your work today?
Gods, not confident at all but the thing is typeset and all, so there's no going back now, is it?

15th Oct 2026. How confident are you feeling about your work today?
Today, not. I'm continuing to work on `Wisdom`, but I don't really have a solid idea of how to make the story work, or whether it will appeal to everyone.
An ancient dragon, a vastly older […]

How confident are you feeling about your work today?
Some days I think, yeah I can do this, and this month has been like that. I never think, yeah I can make a living or win awards doing this.
@nemorosa.mastodon.nu.ap.brid.gy#ScribesAndMakers Oct 14: How do you feel when a show that is non-musical inserts an episode with a musical number?
To me, it often feels like they miscalculated the season length and had to do a filler episode. I know, how likely is that? Not really. The problem is, they're most often not good […]
@nisaa.sfba.social.ap.brid.gy#ScribesAndMakers <14 How do you feel when a show that is non-musical inserts an episode with a musical number?
One of my favorite episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer was the musical episode “Once More with Feeling”. Here’s one of my favorite Anya parts:
“I’ve got a theory. It could be bunnies […]

How do you feel when a show that is non-musical inserts an episode with a musical number?
I don't watch series I don't already like, so I'm predisposed to see what they're doing with it.
If it's just the cast and writers wanted to have a bit of fun, fine, I'll allow it […]
@nisaa.sfba.social.ap.brid.gy#ScribesAndMakers <13 Schadenfreude?
I experienced schadenfreude while watching the tv show “Bad Sisters” and knowing from the beginning that the bad guy was going to die. This is not a spoiler because you see him in his coffin in the first episode.
@nemorosa.mastodon.nu.ap.brid.gy#ScribesAndMakers – 13th Oct. Schadenfreude?
I don't condone bullying or being nasty to people. But when someone get a serving of their own cooking? I'm only human.
@nisaa.sfba.social.ap.brid.gy#ScribesAndMakers Sometimes I talk in lines from movies. For example:
Me: Wash, tell me I'm pretty
My Husband: Were I unwed I would take you in a manly fashion.
Me: Coz I'm pretty?
My Husband: Coz you're pretty.
@nisaa.sfba.social.ap.brid.gy#ScribesAndMakers <12 Do you ever talk to people in song lyrics? No, but that would be awesome. I would like people to talk to me in song lyrics on my birthday this Friday. I realize that might be challenging for birthday wishes because there's only so many song lyrics to do that with.
@petealexharris.mastodon.scot.ap.brid.gy#ScribesAndMakers 12 Oct
Do you ever talk to people in song lyrics?
No. Quotes from comedy or unintentionally comical films, sometimes.
@khleedril.cyberplace.social.ap.brid.gy#ScribesAndMakers Oct 12
Do you ever talk to people in song lyrics?
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Any way the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me.
@nemorosa.mastodon.nu.ap.brid.gy#ScribesAndMakers 11. Is there a word whose meaning is benign that still grates on you for some reason?
That depends entirely on context, I have my pet peeves when it comes to my own writing (not so much when it comes to others'). I avoid 'suddenly' after a prolonged period of overusing the […]
@farbel.mas.to.ap.brid.gy#ScribesAndMakers 11. Is there a word whose meaning is benign that still grates on you for some reason?
Orange.

Hello! Sorry I'm late to your #TTMD
On your site, the description for the dragonbelly mugs says "Each one starts out as a flat slab of clay that is textured with lace". I'm having a hard time imagining that lace because I just […]
